PowerLift Type 4 (EE) Twisted Eye Web Sling

PowerLift™ Type 4 (EE) Twisted Eye Web Sling

Twisted eye slings are similar to type 3 except the eyes are twisted 90 which creates a right angle to the body of the sling. This twist allows the sling to nest better on the crane hook. While the twisted eye sling works well with a basket hitch and vertical hitch, it’s most suitable for the use with chocker hitches. Made from the same high-quality webbing as Type 3, this sling ensures proper fit in tight or irregular sling-to-hook interfaces.

• Optimized choker grip: Eyes sit flat, distributing tension more evenly.
• Reduced wear: Twist alignment helps prevent bunching at the hitch point.
• Custom-built for your lift: Lengths, widths, plys, and end fittings made to order
  • Add-ons: WearGard™ edge protection, color-coded tags.
• RFID tag option: Track sling location and inspection history
• Meets industry standards
  • ASME B30.9
  • OSHA 1910.184
  • WSTDA standards
